“Athletes at this university are held at a higher standard, and their behavior needs to be held to a higher standard as well. Student athletes receive a tremendous amount of money, grants and scholarships to attend this university. They receive special treatment from professors, are assigned special tutors, take exams later and excuse themselves from mandatory classes. If these students accept all of these benefits, then they need to make sure their behavior is above par. If these athletes feel they are above the rules and regulations, then the university needs to make sure their out-of-control behavior does not tarnish the University of Maine.”

“This seems like a violation of First Amendment rights. Why just worry about athletes? How about Student Government, band, computer science, whatever … you could extend the twisted logic to every student. Then again how about alumni getting wild and crazy? Does that not tarnish the school’s image? Where does all this Bush-era eavesdropping and privacy invasion stop? It is college, for God’s sake, the only time in your life you really get to let your hair down.”
